1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Osteoporosis (OP) is a disease characterized by bone mass loss, bone microstructure damage, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. The molecular mechanism underlying OP remains unclear.In this study, we identified 217 genes associated with OP, and formed a gene set [OP-related genes gene set (OPgset)].The highly enriched GOs and pathways showed OPgset genes were significantly involved in multiple biological processes (skeletal system development, ossification, and osteoblast differentiation), and several OP-related pathways (Wnt signaling pathway, osteoclast differentiation, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and adipocytokine signaling pathway). Besides, pathway crosstalk analysis indicated three major modules, with first module consisted of pathways mainly involved in bone development-related signaling pathways, second module in Wnt-related signaling pathway and third module in metabolic pathways. Further, we calculated degree centrality of a node and selected ten key genes/proteins, including TGFB1, IL6, WNT3A, TNF, PTH, TP53, WNT1, IGF1, IL10, and SERPINE1. We analyze the K-core and construct three k-core sub-networks of OPgset genes.In summary, we for the first time explored the molecular mechanism underlying OP via network- and pathway-based methods, results from our study will improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of OP. In addition, these methods performed in this study can be used to explore pathogenesis and genes related to a specific disease.
